BEAUTY WITH CARE, BACKED BY EXPERIENCE
Hastings Skin & Beauty Clinic
The Skin & Tonic Room was created with one goal in mind: to offer skin therapy that feels as good as it works.
After over a decade in the beauty industry, Morgan saw a need for a space that combined science-backed results with genuine relaxation. A place where skin health wasn’t rushed, where product choices were sustainable, and where clients could feel seen and supported.
That vision became The Skin & Tonic Room, A purpose-built clinic in the hub of Hastings where every detail, from the lighting to the treatment plans, has been designed with care.
We’re proud to take a personalised, results-led approach. Every face we treat begins with conversation, consultation, and skin analysis. And every product we use is consciously chosen on high-performance, planet-friendly, and proven to support long-term skin health.
Our space isn’t about trends. It’s about what truly works, delivered in a space that lets you relax.
